Brain Injury Attorneys Serving Phoenix & All of Arizona

Even the mildest of brain injuries can have lifelong consequences. Whether it is episodes of memory loss or loss of motor functions, brain injuries are scary, life-changing events. Traumatic brain injuries are also a leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control, making up nearly a third of all injury deaths in the United States.

Effects of a traumatic brain injury can include:

  • Impaired cognitive ability and recall
  • Impaired motor function
  • Impaired vision and/or hearing
  • Altered emotional functions, such as a change in personality

Annually, more than 2.5 million people suffer some type of brain injury, 52,000 of them fatal. But not all of these injuries are a result of a direct blow to the head. If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury, there are a number of symptoms to look for, such as:

  • Headaches
  • Confusion
  • Nausea/dizziness
  • Memory loss
  • Personality changes
